Insta-Friday. Shane edition.

A peek into babyday and the hospital vacay via Instagram.

I didn't have to check into the hospital until 10am, couldn't eat, and knew that I needed a distraction to help keep me from TOTALLY FREAKING OUT.Drew suggested a pre-babyday blowout at Drybar.
Best idea ever.

Some girls love them a mani-pedi.
This girl bites her fingernails (I know gross... totally aware of the grossness) and can do her own toes. But a fancy wash and styley-style while I read gossip mags? That for sure will take my mind off of the upcoming scalpels and scariness.

All checked in and waiting...
Sort of FREAKING OUT, sort of crying that this pregnancy is over, sort of excited to meet the little guy, sort of ready, sort of totally give me a few more weeks.
But all of this with pretty hair.

Sweet Shauna gave me this vintage flash card. Did the mister think I was loco as I asked him to turn around on the way to the hospital because I forgot it? Maybe. Am I glad I ran back in to fetch it? Absolutely.

For the first time ever... I can say I heart my guys PLURAL!!!!

Careful. This guy for sure will make you catch baby fever.

Because the baby man had some breathing issues, and I had some crazy reactions to drugs issues, we got to stay an extra day. I am so thankful for that extra day. I would have taken ten more if they let me. The hospital was so calm and dreamy, the nurses were phenomenal. I had no other job but to rest and stare at the wonder that is Shane. It was really hard to leave.

But leave we did. It is crazy how small they seem in their car seats for the first time. Crazy how quickly that changes. Crazy how cute he is in this little squirrel-owl hat from Drew.

Home he came to our land of pink. I do not exaggerate when I say that everything is pink here. He had some fairly strong objections to his sister's hot pink changing pad cover. Welcome to life little guy. Just wait until you have to use princess sippy cups and pink legos.

awesomest insta-friday ever! Now that you're no longer pregnant you can send all those pregnancy vibes to me so I can be next (lol how cool would it be if things worked that way). I bet your little boy gets your girls to think twice about how adorable blue can be! :)

Sweetest post ever...oh my he's adorable. My sister is your opposite...she's got three blues hoping for a pink. (crossing fingers) I've got three pinks and ok with my 4 legged blue. haha. However, I may need to run to walgreens to pick up something for the baby fever I just caught. thanks. ;)

Congratulations on your perfect little boy. It's so true about the car seat... I was just thinking about that yesterday when I buckled in my 3-month-old and remembered how tiny she was in it when we left the hospital.

I am in love with this post. Your picture with the flashcard is adorable! Glad you went back for it. I also teared up reading "boys" plural. Happy for you and your little fam of 6! Boys are a joy. We did the opposite of you. Had 3 boys and then brought home PINk into our world. It's fun!! Mister Shane is one lucky dude.

He is beautiful and perfect! So glad that you're all home and adjusting. I know what you mean about how nice it was to be in the hospital, when I had my last it was bittersweet when I had to come home knowing it was the last time I would be there :(

My week now pales in comparison to your miracle of life week! You will find that a little boy after 3 girls rocks your world in amazing ways. I was pretty scared of all things boy, but there is just something about a son... :) So happy for you!!

yep, definitely gave me a little bit of baby fever!! :) he is sooo precious!! and your hair looks gorgeous... i think that was the best idea ever, what a sweet hubby. im making a mental note that when my day comes, if it is scheduled i will get my hair done too :)

I almost asked myself - who is Shane? LOL I'm going to have to get used to reading about a BOYS on your cute blog. I think that the DRYbar is genius and I must make a trip there sometime soon. He is gorgeous. I always called my baby boy gorgeous - habit and it was the truth :)

Precious as can be! Welcome to the world little guy! I felt the same way about leaving the hospital. My husband and I actually had such a great experience that we referred to it as "The Resort"! Baby fever, Hello! He's so sweet that you can't help feel it. Congratulations!

I love your blog and am always so encouraged by it and just thought you should know you TOTALLY looked like Tammy Taylor with your beautiful hair on "babyday"! {totally agree--BEST tv show EVER!} Praying for you, your sweet family, and the amazing way Jesus uses you and this blog!

Oh congrats on your new little guy! I only have 1 kid... a 16mo old little guy named Eli. He's the best thing since sliced bread. He's boy thru-and-thru... and I'm sure Shane will be too. Hey that rhymes! haha

Maybe I'll have a girl next, and she'll have to drink out of blue sippy cups and wear camo onesies :-) But while wearing a pink bow in her hair, of course!
